Foxy Lady

Another capture of the wild Vixen featured in an earlier upload. Patiently sitting and waiting, I was almost taken unawares as she popped out suddenly from behind nearby bushes nearly under my feet! This image is near full-frame, only slightly cropped to balance. Mods welcome as perhaps some of you might find this image could do with more "pop" After uploading I noticed a couple of white spots on the tail and just above in V1 so have uploaded V2 with them cloned out.

Settings: F/5.6 1/800sec ISO400 manual@500mm tripod

Many thanks as always for your continued support, observations and critiques - really appreciated.

Super shot. I think I'd have composed with the fox higher in the frame, which would leave more room for her to move into. Being ultra-picky, I'd probably clone out the fraction of a white flower on the edge of the frame that's being `pointed to' by the tail. Neither is a big issue, though. Love those bright eyes and the tongue sticking out. :D
